FLOW RATE VERIFICATION
The flow Rate chart supplied with the machine
(label and manual) has good accuracy. For
verification purposes, this procedure could be
performed.
orifice in the liquid.
3.Prepare a calibrated container (for example 250 ml) with a defined amount of liquid
(for example 200 ml).
4. Start the machine, the engine running at working speed, the nozzle at waist level.
Then open the shut-off valve. As soon as the liquid in the small container reach the
“reference level” start the stopwatch, and begin to pour liquid from the calibrated
container to the small container, keeping constant “reference level”.
5. After one minute, stop pouring liquid, and close the valve. Check the remaining
amount of liquid in the calibrated container (for example 50 ml), the difference between
the initial and the final volume is the flow rate in ml/min (160 ml/min for our example).
6. Stop the engine and reinstall orifice in place.
Notes: Smaller flow rates requires longer sample time, for example three minutes for
orifice #19, and the difference between the initial volume and the final volume should be
divided by three (or sampling time) to obtain the flow rate.
1. Be sure liquid lines of the
machine are filled with the liquid
to be sprayed. Then disconnect
the upper plastic nut to the
union/orifice.
2. Prepare a container with
small cross section, fill it with
liquid to a higher level than the
indicated as reference level in
diagram. Then introduce the
orifice in the liquid.
